Afghanistan's fast bowler Naveen Ul Haq has been ruled out of the T20 Asia Cup 2025. Fast bowler Abdullah Ahmadzai, who was previously in the reserves and recently made his international debut, has been promoted to the main squad for the Asia Cup 2025.
Naveen had been named in Afghanistan's Asia Cup squad but failed to make it to the XI for their tournament opener on fitness grounds. The board has now revealed that the veteran pacer is still recovering from a shoulder injury and has not been declared fit by the ACB medical team to participate in the remaining games.
Naveen will return home to continue to undergo intensive treatment and rehabilitation.
"The ACB wishes Naveen Ul Haq a speedy recovery and extends its best wishes to Abdullah Ahmadzai for the matches ahead," the board said in a statement on Monday (September 15).
